A long day...

Today seemed to be one of those days where I was feeling more stressed out than I should have. It was probably just an accumulation of little stressors that added up to me feeling frazzled. The boy took a short nap, awaking while I was still finishing my afternoon treadmill run, I was trying to get someone to come treat the basement carpet that had gotten some water seepage from a big storm last weekend, and I was dreading going on my afternoon stroller walk as I knew it was going to be really hot. 

Unfortunately, I completely forgot I had taken my debit card out of my wallet and therefore I didn't have it when I got to the grocery store checkout line today. So I had to look like a dummy who couldn't pay for my stuff and get them to dump out my bags (since I was using my own reusable bags) and slink out of the store. Then, once I got home, I had to scoop my sweaty kid out of his stroller and deposit him straight into the car seat, then the shopping cart, and get all my groceries AGAIN (this time actually HAVING my debit card). I just felt so stupid that I had to go shopping for the same stuff twice in one day. I was hoping not to see the girl who had checked me out the first time, and although I was happy not to see her as I chose a line, she ended up bagging my order. And she recognized me!! Argh!

No sooner had I returned home, but I was met by my returning husband, and a few minutes later, the guy arrived to clean our carpets. Not a moment too soon, as they were starting to smell musty down there, ew. Okay, complaining hours are over.

I will post my weekly Poetry Challenge tomorrow. Tonight or tomorrow morning is your last chance to post a cinquain for last week's challenge! Pony up, folks!!
